Brad Roberts - Superman's Song lyrics

Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm like that Quick as a cat in the jungle But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent He would not be caught sittin' around in no junglescape Dumb as an ape doing nothing Superman never made any money For saving the world from Solomon Grundy And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job Even though he could have smashed through any bank in the United States He had the strength, but he would not Folks said his family were all dead Planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself to carry on Forget Krypton and keep going Superman never made any money For saving the world from Solomon Grundy And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him Tarzan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, you Jane" Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back on man Join Tarzan in the forest But he stayed in the city Kept on changing clothes in dirty old phonebooths 'til his work was through And nothing to do but go on home Superman never made any money For saving the world from Solomon Grundy And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him
